AJ’s Car of the Day: 1953 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible

Car: Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible ( Car shown currently at Dragone Classic Motorcars in Orange, CT )

Year: 1953

What makes it special: The Oldsmobile division of General Motors produced the Super 88 as a full-sized offering from model years 1949 to 1999, and it was the top seller through 1974. In the years 1949-1951 it was the company’s image leader and one of their best performers because of its small size and a combination of light weight and advanced overhead-valve, high compression V8. With an engine destined for the larger, more luxury 98 series, it also replaced the straight-8 of prior years. Having the larger, high performance V8, it is considered by many to be the first “Muscle Car,” but as always that title has been disputed.

What made it famous: By the 1953 model year, the base 88 was re-named the “Deluxe 88” for only that year, while “Super 88” was still the more upscale version. It’s engine and transmission choices were still the same as the 1952 model year. A fire that destroyed GM’s Hydra-Matic transmission plant forced GM to build thousands of cars with the two-speed Dynaflow transmissions until services could be resumed at a new locale. New options for the Super 88 for 1953 were Frigidaire a/c, power steering and power brakes.

Why I would want one: I like the fact that you don’t see many of these, so for those who want to stand out, this is a perfect way to do it. This is also a very stylish performance convertible.

Fun fact: Among the great successes of the 88 series was the song “Rocket 88,” considered the very first Rock & Roll record.

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Car: Ford Mustang Boss 302 ( Car shown at Dragone Classic Motorcars in Orange )

Year: 1970

What makes it special: Produced for the famed Trans-Am racing series, Ford’s Mustang Boss 302 was a high-performance variant for the 1969 and 1970 model years, along with the more powerful Boss 429 Mustang. The Boss 302 returned as a Mustang variant for the 2012 and 2013 model years as well.

What made it famous: Designed by former General Motors employee Larry Shinoda, the Boss 302 was famous for it’s reflective C-Stripe on its side. It’s Hi-Po engine was created for the SCCA’s Trans-Am Road Racing series, and was a unique small-block V8 that featured thin-wall, nickel block casting. It featured 4-bolt mains, screw-in freeze plugs, and canted valve design heads that were being developed for the famed 351 Cleveland V8, which debuted that following year. For the 1970 model year, the C-Stripes developed into “Hockey Stick” stripes that began along the top of the hood, then running along the sides. The 1970 model replaced the four headlights with two vents in the outside position while keeping two headlights within the grille. It’s dual exhaust system was redone, along with competition suspension and a Hurst Floor shifter as standard equipment.

Why I would want one: Produced in smaller numbers than a standard Mustang makes them fairly rare to find, and the engine alone would make any muscle car fan want the Boss 302.

Fun fact: The “Boss” name came from when designer Larry Shinoda was asked what project he was working on, and he would answer “The Boss’s car” because it was a secret project.
